Roasted Red Onion Mayo Recipes

Steps:

• Halve 2 pounds unpeeled red onions; toss in a large bowl with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika and a pinch each of sugar and salt. Place the onions cut-side down on a baking sheet; roast at 450 degrees until soft and browned, 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the onion slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet, leaving room between each. (Use 2 baking sheets if the onions won't all fit comfortably on 1.) Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and the sugar and gently flip to coat, keeping the rings as intact as possible. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning once, until soft and browning (It's O.K. if some parts get crisp and charred).
• Let the onions cool slightly, then transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop. (You want to have small pieces of onion without making a paste.)
• Transfer the onions to a medium bowl and add the sour cream, yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, lemon juice and black pepper. Fold to combine.
• Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with minced chives. Serve with potato chips.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Make a total of 4 vertical cuts in each onion to create 8 wedges still attached at the root end.
• Drizzle a little of the olive oil into a baking dish, then arrange onions root end down.
• Spoon remaining olive oil into and around onions. Sprinkle generously with salt, getting some into the center of the onions. Toss in herbs.
• Roast for 40 minutes. Rearrange onions so that their petals open, and drizzle with a few spoonfuls of the caramelized onion juices from the pan. Roast until onions are tender on the inside with crispy bits on their outer petals, about 20 minutes longer. Season with pepper and more salt to taste. Serve hot or at room temperature as a side dish, or as dinner with a good cheese and a green salad.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter, vinegar, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute to reduce slightly. Place the onions, cut sides up, in a single layer on a baking pan. Drizzle the butter-vinegar mixture over and roast until soft and slightly caramelized, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Gently toss red onions, 5 tablespoons oil and vinegar in large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange onions in single layer on prepared sheet. Bake onions until brown at edges and just tender, about 40 minutes. Cool.
• Mix mayonnaise, basil, lemon juice, lemon peel and 2 tablespoons oil in small bowl. (Onions and mayonnaise can be made 2 days ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
• Spread mayonnaise over cut sides of bread. Place bottom halves on plates. Top with roast beef, onions and arugula. Cover with top halves of bread.
• *Ciabatta is an oval-shaped flat Italian bread available at many bakeries and supermarkets nationwide.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375*F.
• Spread roughly chopped onions out on a small rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss all together to coat and spread evenly on the pan. Roast for 25-30 minutes, checking at 20 and again at 25. Onions should be soft and starting to brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
• Once onions are cooled, put them into a food processor and pulse until the onions are finely chopped. Add mayo and pulse until the spread becomes incorporated. Taste for desired seasoning, adding more if desired. (If the spread sits in the fridge overnight while flavors meld, the flavor will change, so use caution on the seasonings). I recommended that you make this at least 8 hours before using for best taste.
• Enjoy on anything that you like mayo spread on.
